ABSTRACT
The scientific article considers the first and second energy sectors included in the classification of industries, shows the need to take into account the realities of the electric power sector when studying the historical stages of development of the infrastructure complex of the oil and gas sector, and conducts research in this direction. The processes of construction and commissioning of power plants (HPPs, TPPs) in Azerbaijan since the end of the 19th century and the transformation of this industry into the main elements of economic development have been analyzed. At the same time, the paper analyzes the infrastructural indicators of the current state of the gas and energy infrastructure of the country, which is an integral structure in the development of the energy sector, and also compiles a SWOT analysis matrix of quantitative and qualitative indicators of energy security of the country.

W artykule naukowym poddano rozważaniom pierwszy i drugi sektor energetyczny uwzględnione w klasyfikacji branż. Wskazano na konieczność uwzględnienia realiów sektora energetycznego podczas badania historycznych etapów rozwoju kompleksu infrastrukturalnego sektorów naftowego i gazowego oraz przedstawiono badania w tym kierunku. Przeanalizowano procesy budowy i uruchamiania elektrowni (elektrownie wodne, elektrownie cieplne) w Azerbejdżanie od końca XIX wieku oraz transformację tej branży w główny element rozwoju gospodarczego kraju. Jednocześnie w artykule przeanalizowano wskaźniki infrastrukturalne aktualnego stanu infrastruktury gazowej i energetycznej kraju, która stanowi integralną strukturę w rozwoju sektora energetycznego, a także opracowano matrycę analizy SWOT ilościowych i jakościowych wskaźników bezpieczeństwa energetycznego kraju.
